le sick, le recovery, le Sunday morning TT

Wednesday I went out to do jump intervals but my lungs felt funny ad my legs were smoked. I couldn't get warmed up so I spun for 2 hours and then went home. Active recovery, anyone?

Thursday I felt like shit. My lungs were rough, my head was swimming, and I was tired. Even after 10 hours of sleep. I guess that's what I get for pulling rookie mistakes (see previous).

So I took some mucinex, took it easy and took a nap. Friday I felt awesome and have been back at it since. 4 hours Friday, and 1 hard one Saturday were a good lead-up to a really hard 1.5 hour ITT Sunday.

I averaged 24 MPH in a 45 minnute 19-mile ITT around sun Prairie. I didn't feel great, but I didn't feel too shitty. Not bad to get in a ride before work. Tomorrow it's off to Jim's trails for 3 hours of XC and grilling with the Shawzam and TBSOM crew. east and West will both be present, and with our powers combined we will become Captain Planet.
